Removing four man premades would fix a huge part of what people don't like about DQ

You can match 2s with 3s against 2s and 3s, and you can match 5s against 5s. What's awful is being the solo player in a four stack.

As a long time dq supporter, I couldn't agree more with this. Riot has horribly mishandled this entire season. For their sake, I hope they fix this game. I'm already finding myself playing Overwatch more than league. I want league back. But it's getting worse by the patch.

I've seen 100x more complaints about 4-mans than actual 4-mans. Or maybe I just couldn't tell the difference because they didn't play any differently than anyone else, in which case, who gives a damn?

I think there is a group of people who just wants to blame dynamic queue when they lose, the same as they want to blame their entire laning phase on Tryndamere critting that one time. And so they make a lot of noise about dynamic queue, or RNG, or whatever, because they don't understand what is actually causing their losses.

Maybe you've just gotten tolerable 4-mans. I've had some good ones, but I've also had some really toxic ones.

And at any rate, it really sucks to be grouped with people who are in voice since that almost always means they communicate with you less.

Personally I don't want to be against a 4man premade and I don't want to be paired up with one either. Regardless of win/loss, it's never the greatest experience.

I enjoy talking and joking around with my team, but when I'm paired with a premade it's usually an extremely quiet and boring game. It's not every game, but 30-40min of just pings is a little boring.

Also I find it easier to play against a 4man premade than it is to play with one. Yeah the enemy is more coordinated, but all I gotta do is react to their plays. When playing with a 4man premade (which I only see 2-3/10 games) I always find myself reacting to a lot of their plays a little late due to the lack of communication. Engages or strats are planned in voice com and I'm lucky if I get a ping or two so that I fall in line with them.

As much as I want solo q back, it's not impossible to climb with DQ. A little harder and you're running into more coordinated plays at a lower elo, but it's still doable.

Just want solo q back because it's more enjoyable for me as a pure solo player.
